Everett's lifeless body was found at 9:30 a.m. Monday in a patch of thick woods more than 100 yards from Kings Ferry. His pickup was found several hours earlier near a pavilion at the edge of a tree line. Its windows were rolled down and several items remained inside.

No other details have been disclosed about Everett's death.

"The people that knew him knew him, and the people that don't know him, that's none of their business," Joyce Everett, his wife, said Wednesday afternoon.

She told police her husband frequented Kings Ferry to fish and had not been seen since Friday. Since her husband was known to take weekend-long fishing excursions, she had not planned to file a missing persons report until Monday, metro officials have said.

Man accused of rape, robbery

A man was arrested Tuesday morning on rape and robbery allegations after DNA tied him to an August incident, according to Savannah-Chatham police.

Maurice Anthony Gordon, 18, was arraigned today and denied bond after being brought into custody as a suspect in an Aug. 20 rape and robbery in the 200 block of David Court.

DNA allegedly tied Gordon to the crime. He was booked into the Chatham County jail on charges of rape, aggravated sodomy and armed robbery.
